This blog is my views on the world I live in and my views only. So in saying that, Don't take any of my views personal. But then again, if the shoe fits....

Better late than never

I have had a very busy holiday.

My Uncle Larry and my Auntie Loretta made their annual Pilgrimage from Maryland to the Big D to see the Deadskins get beat down. We took them on a tour of the "Boss Hog Bowl" the Saturday before the game and I thought that my Auntie would have a heart attack when she saw how King Jerry does thangs. My Uncle, who is a die hard Foreskins fan, couldn't find one nice thing to say, but that is to be expected. Anyways the Cowboys beat the Foreskins (barely), and as usual my Uncle was yapping about how the Cowboys cheated.

I really enjoy it when my peoples come out to hang with me and wifey. My Uncle is in my opinion, standing right next to Colin Powell as men who can still give me shivers when ever I am in their presence. (I have never met Colin Powell, but he is a man whom I greatly admire and look up to.)

Every man needs another man that he can look up to and try to emulate. We all need that role model. My Uncle is mine.

My Uncle makes me want to try harder to be a good man. He never actually tells me what I need to do, but he always gives me hints about what he thinks I should do. He lets me make my own decisions, but he doesn't judge me when the decisions I make are not the right ones.

Even though I loved my Father, my Uncle is the man I have always looked to for help when I need it the most. He has always been there and well... he is my man.

Anyways I know that this post is a couple of days late, but I am thankful for my Uncle Larry for being the man I am striving to become.

Even though we have very different views about football teams.

PPS...

As I write this I see that the Foreskins have just scored on Philly . I bet that Uncle Larry is jumping up and down in his basement screaming. That poor delusional man loves his team. Oh well, it just goes to show that nobody is perfect.

Words To live By

Character is like a tree and reputation is like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

It matters not what you are thought to be, but what you are.Character is the result of two things: Mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

Things that make you go hmmmm.....

If the #2 pencil is so popular, why is it still #2?Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?If I melt dry ice, can I take a bath without getting wet?Crime doesn't pay...does that mean that my job is a crime?How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign?How do you know that honesty is the best policy until you have tried some of the others?How do you throw away a garbage can?How does a thermos know if the drink should be hot or cold?How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?Do you realize how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?

I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.

I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident.. Some call me cocky. Get used to it. My religion; Not yours. My goals; My own. Get used to me. For I am here to stay.
